Outdoor Table Runner

I so can't wait until the weather is warm enough that we spend our entire days outside. This week has been nice here...it actually feels like Spring, so my mind has kinda been in outdoor-living mode. I thought it'd be cool to make a table runner for our table that sits on the patio.

I started with several pieces of paper from the Park Bench collection from Fancy Pants Designs. This project works wonderful for scraps. I choose to use 1.5" x 6" and 1.5" x 3" pieces and I laid out a subway, or brick pattern on top of a large piece of burlap. I adhered the pieces down and then cut the burlap around it.

Then I sealed it to protect it. The only sealer I actually had on hand was an antique sealer and I didn't really want to run to the store and buy a different one, so that was the one I used. :) So it yellowed it a bit, but I do love how it turned out.

Here's my final project:

I've very happy with the way it turned out. We'll see how it holds up. I do have a covered patio, so that will help. :)
